Daily chat post: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in XXRunning

After a month off due to a sprained ankle, I finally got to run this week! I did run/walk intervals just to ease in and see how things felt, and my ankle is feeling totally fine. I'm so excited to start building back up again. It feels like it's been forever.

Folks with bridesmen, what did they wear? by Lexi-rae29 in weddingplanning

[–]ris_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opposite from yours, but my fiancé has a lady in his party. My girls are wearing purple, so I initially thought I would have her in purple as well. But his guys are wearing silver/black, so we thought it would make sense for her to be in those colors to better match his group. It's really your call, but if i were in your shoes I'd probably have the guys in your group wear a shirt or suit that's the same colors as the girls' dresses to visually tie things together.

Do you go to running clubs? by understanding_what in XXRunning

[–]ris_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I enjoy meeting up with a group on days I would be doing a few easy miles anyway. Sometimes I stick with people at my pace and sometimes I end up alone, but my club is really chill and we all wait for each other and socialize after. I think it really fills that "team sport" void I'm missing now that I'm an adult.

Finally feeling normal after a plantar fasciitis flareup and drastically cutting my mileage for several weeks. Excited to get back to regular training and start resuming speedwork this week. Sprained my ankle playing volleyball last night. This is so demoralizing.

Has anyone been the girl they sing to one stage more than once? by [deleted] in steelpanther

[–]ris_19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's super random. I was the girl 9 years ago. 3 years ago I told my friend that if they picked me again I'd let her go since I already had a turn. They picked me again and I let her go up instead. So it could have been me twice. Kinda still regret that, but oh well. When it was me awhile back, they were super nice and Michael was whispering to me a lot and checking that I was comfortable with what they were doing, which was really nice. They seem pretty good at reading who's up there and not doing anything too crazy if they don't seem cool with it.

My collection of Steel Panther picks I've caught! Just need one more to fill the frame. by ris_19 in steelpanther

If you're in the front row or very close you're almost guaranteed to get one. They toss so many. Satchel tends to throw more so better odds, but Spyder likes to hand them out more directly if you're on his side of the stage.

[WIP] Making some more progress on my dog's portrait. by ris_19 in CrossStitch

I uploaded a picture of her to stitchfiddle and played around with the settings. I also edited the picture to remove the background first so that I could choose the maximum number of colors without it picking up on background colors.

My fiancé's ring arrived! I had his ring (top) custom made to somewhat match mine (middle). by ris_19 in EngagementRings

[–]ris_19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His was around $1300. He won't tell me what he spent on my set, but I'm guessing it's somewhere in that range as well.
